Sigh, it sounds like Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson have a bit of a tumultuous relationship. According to Page Six, Lindsay and Sam “are fighting like cats and dogs. They fight every day, screaming, crying and yelling at each other. Sam and Lindsay are still very much together and very much in love, but drama just seems to follow Lindsay, and Sam hates it.” So how are they dealing with the friction? The couple is reportedly getting couples therapy, trying to work through their issues. The thing is, couples therapy has always sounded, to me, like something married folks do. Obviously, you want to do whatever you can to save a marriage—but if the person your with is “just a boyfriend or girlfriend,” would you be willing to shell out the big bucks, not to mention the time and emotional energy, seeing a professional?

I’d do anything for Sam Ro! But she should honestly move on from Loho who is claiming she’s still all about the peen. Lame. That’s gotta suck to hear even more if you’re the lady she’s dating. I say ditch the bitch Sam Ro!

I’d vote yes, if we had been in a long term relationship and he was someone I could settle down with.
I think Linds and Sam Ro are a tad bit co-dependent. This relationship seems doomed.

I don’t think I would, unless we were married or had been together like 5 years or more.
But, if I were in their very unusual situation (Lindsey being bi, and this being her first relationship with a woman [as far as we know], and the whole celebrity storm they have to live in), I might consider it. Those problems aren’t something you usually see your parents or friends going through, so you don’t really have a model for how to handle them.

I don’t think it’s worth it if you’re not married. Honestly if you are having problems major enough to warrant counseling you should probably just break up. It’s one thing in marriage or if you have children, but just dating? Eh. There are plenty of other people out there who you are compatible with.

Even if I weren’t married to someone but we had a serious relationship… sometimes you gotta call in the experts. Besides, not everybody gets married (or CAN get married) but it doesn’t make your relationship less significant.
I like what two of my friends did—started going to therapy together when things got really serious and THEN got engaged (after 6 years together!) once they were sure the relationship was as perfect as they could get it. They knew they wanted to get married but they also knew that they only wanted to get married once, and made sure that things were as good and solid as they could make them and that it was the right decision. I think that’s a pretty admirable goal and I’m positively giddy for their upcoming wedding.
